E. O. Of offer a link consultancy advising investors on africa and the african tech scene moses what might those numbers were seeing rise so significantly so what we see is that open source is actually helping a lot of Companies Like the startups and also organizations to be able to have a Quick Deployment and that is actually why we see that especially when it comes to africa cost efficiency very important and weve seen a lot of develop as a jumping on to the open source. Market to get solutions on that it comes to the numbers come from a relatively low level right this is what makes the increase so staggering so actually what we see is that there are 2 different aspect of it we have the contribute and we actually have the project so what weve seen is that in terms of contribution like we saw for countries such as on the rise about 40 percent increase so we see them most of the Young Africans who are actually beginning to learn how to program jump into these open source contribute to these open source for that which are 2 National Protests we thought what we see is that these Global Projects actually gives them the good resume to be able to get jobs like for instance now mike is the asking for developers you need to show what youve done and so jumping on to open source really helps us when we look at the local market in terms of projects that actually relevant to africans know its a very small number but the successful ones are actually very very successful because they have a glue call approach which is the global approach but also meeting the local standards example as you saw he did and will calmness i mean no one even wrote things about will come as an African Company because basically it was developed in africa in south africa with a lot of the can contribute just but it was addressing global challenges which sectors are especially interesting for Software Developers in africa right now so were a look at the Service Market its very very huge because you look at a think tank whereby there is delivery or finance we look at delivery of transportation anything to do was the Service Sector is actually rising very much thats what were seeing a lot of developers jumping into solutions that are already out there and utilizing it to meet the needs of the african consumer open source you mentioned it its very important especially for the african jobs market is it just kind of an academy for beginners if you will or is it is it more yes so what we look at open source normally like the newly acquired comp and get help which is no also for marc. Its about given a collaborative platform whereby people are able to use and share knowledge and also test in feedback immediately and so what weve seen is a most of these young one of the developers jumped on to such collaborative platform contribute to have the risen me that they need but it is same time be able to also learn from others i think one of the most important thing that we see is that African Developers should also start not only looking at of course the things that are also for the African Market but also global needs because that is how we can get more contribution and also more projects that are coming from africa most are thank you very much thank you very much fizzles confidence in south africa rose during the 4th quarter from a 20 year low the biggest rebound in confidence was in the construction retail and on a factory industries the Overall Index figure increased from 21 to 26 but thats still way below the benchmark figure of 50 pessimism becomes optimists confidence has been declining after an initial kick 2 years ago when asaram opposer became president last year morocco overtook south africa as the continents biggest producer of cars since then the industry that has continued to grow now an agreement between persia onus t.

Now this week could be crucial for the future of europes Space Missions the ministers of the Member States of the European Space agency meet in spain to discuss how much they want to invest in what kind of projects high on the agenda is the new launch vehicle ariana 6 which cost around 3. 00 and a half 1000000000 euros to develop but it will it make European Space launches more profitable kellett compete with the rockets of private space entrepreneurs like musk just or richard branson. Europes new Space Shuttle is launching into a fiercely competitive market with new financially powerful rifles and its a biased contest the chinese russians and americans benefit from many Public Sector orders no just institutional launches which can only be given to domestic rockets this stipulation doesnt apply in europe space x. Offers prices in europe that are hard for domestic launches to compete with. By the dozens of unpledged this is information its not a secret. If you Search Online youll see that space x. Recently sold launches 4000. 00 cannot in for 100000000. 00 and offer the same rockets to europe the 50000000. 00 thats half the price. From fatigue on the board. Pis the launch costs for aryan 6. 00 have to be brought down dramatically by at least 40 percent which is no mean feat. Thats why theyre relying on synergies. New pieces have been developed and tested but they give the shuttle the thrust it needs during takeoff and they will likely be used for europe small of a caracas to swallow. This means they can produce more units which reduces production costs. The operators expect the biggest savings to come from the new production methods like the protective insulation on the upper section. Plates used to be glued to the outside of the rocket by hand a time consuming process. 6 and for the 1st time these components sprayed on by her bot. To mimic like this creates a uniform surface which is important for the structures on the upper section. Is much better and easier. You have much better control of the process. And its much more Cost Effective than the previous method would sit there are 2. 00 versions planned for the new rocket one will be able to launch 2 satellites and the other will be able to launch for the operators hope this flexibility will help to attract more customers. That calling for e. U. Funds for rockets to go to european producers. Because india feel were much more dependent on the commercial market its just a question of fairness if we have institutional launches and europe we should launch with a european rocket. Up to 12 rocket said to be produced annually double the previous amount. This fuel tank will soon take off on its maiden flight. The 1st 6 will launch from french brianna at the end of 2020.
